Preparation Instructions

Glycosade taken as a drink:

Measure the required amount of liquid into a beaker with a lid.

Add the required amount of Glycosade to the beaker. Typically a sachet of Glycosade can be added to 100ml of cold water or other suitable fluids.

Secure lid and shake until the powder is dissolved.

Glycosade is now ready to use. The product should be freshly prepared and consumed immediately.

Glycosade taken with food:

Add the required amount of Glycosade to 150-200ml of suitable yoghurt or cold custard/rice pudding.

Stir well until smooth with a fork or a small whisk.

Glycosade may also be given through a feeding tube. Administer as a bolus to prevent possible tube blockage.

Do not heat or warm Glycosade as this destroys the properties of the starch.
